German President Steinmeier Visits Lviv

German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier was in Lviv for an official visit on 30 May, where he met with Lviv Region Head Oleh Syniutka and representatives of Lviv Regional Council and Lviv City Council. Steinmeier noted that Germany has always been willing to support the process of Ukraine’s internal transformation and that “little has been done” in this regard over the past few years. Many large industrial facilities with German investments have been opened in the Lviv region, including Leoni Wires & Cables and others. Currently the Lviv Regional State Administration provides support for over 500 investment projects, including those with German capital. The meeting was held at Lviv’s Potocki Palace, where the German president viewed the exhibition and left a note in the book of honorary guests. Later in the day, he met with students of Lviv’s I. Franko National University, Jewish community representatives, and took a city tour.
